Among spanish speaker metalheads, it's common to say it like necroPHAgist, when even the spanish word already has the accent in CRO (like necrófago).

Turbonegro sounds terrible too.

About badly spoken names, what about Taake? people just say 'TA-keh' (like Tad without the d), when the double a (archaic form, currently replaced by the vowel å) sounds like an o. Everytime I say 'tóke' here no one gets it - the same happens when I say Mike Okerfeldt instead Akerfeldt.

I don't know, I pronounce it as "Shasthur", which has a nice ring to it, if you ask me.....

Also, there is a black metal band called 'Furze' which is unintentionally funny cuz 'Furze' means 'Farts' in german. You can imagine how ridiculous it seems to listen to some grim cold kvlt shit which is called farts...

Speaking of which, what on Earth could Helfahrt have been thinking?

Something like 'Passage to Hel'... speaking of which, Equilibrium wrote a song called 'Fahrtwind', now if THAT's not ambiguous... means Riding Wind btw.

That's really interesting, I always wanted to dive into that field but never had the opportunity.

It's a very interesting field of study, especially to an English speaker. You can really see the shared blood of the Germanic languages when you compare them and read about how they branched off from one another. But hell, that's a philological topic. I'm drunk.

Anyway, back on topic: I guess these aren't horrible band names, but I really dislike sentences as names.

Daylight DiesSwallow the Sun

I love both of those bands, but I really wish they'd called themselves something else.

Wintersun doesn't sound too terrible, but it carries a connotation of a weakened state. In the winter, the sun obviously has less power over the earth, so a winter sun is something of a half-assed sun.

sentence: 1. Grammar . a grammatical unit of one or more words that expresses an independent statement, question, request, command, exclamation, etc., and that typically has a subject as well as a predicate, as in John is here. or Is John here? In print or writing, a sentence typically begins with a capital letter and ends with appropriate punctuation; in speech it displays recognizable, communicative intonation patterns and is often marked by preceding and following pauses.

Running Wild, as much as they are one of my favorite bands, honestly could have come up with something better than that. The name doesn't represent the music at all and just looks childish, especially with that sloppy logo. The logo characters themselves are ok, I guess, but the "w" not being capitalized and the shoddy writing makes it look very ugly and unprofessional (and not for effect, either).

GODAMMIT! I've never noticed that before, now it's going to annoy me forever.Thanks for that.

Eat a Helicopter. just fuckin stupid, and they sound just as awful as the name would imply. sometimes a bad name can make me giggle, which makes me hate it slightly less, i.e. Fuck...I'm dead, or the previously stated Torn the Fuck apart (which really looks like Tom the fuck apart when typed out), or behold the arctopus

Funny you should say that, as I tried forming a doom metal band in college (and was completely unsuccessful), but if I were to get it formed, I would've called it Icy Sun, which is basically the same concept. It's from a lyric in Black Sabbath's Behind the Wall of Sleep: "Icy sun with frosty glow." I think it sounds really cool, and I always though Wintersun sounded cool too.
